https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2022-04/Avient Announces Agreement to Acquire Dyneema_0.pdf
Examples include:
• Unique technologies that improve the recyclability of products and enable recycled content
to be incorporated, thus advancing a more circular economy
• Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and
wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon
footprint

natural resource conservation and fiber optic / 5G network accessibility
Avient employs approximately 8,700 associates and is certified ACC Responsible Care®, a
founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste and certified Great Place to Work®.
Factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking statements include,
but are not limited to: the time required to consummate the acquisition of the Dyneema business;
the satisfaction or waiver of conditions in the purchase agreement; completion of the consultation
process with the relevant Dutch works council; the ability to obtain required regulatory or other
third-party approvals and consents and otherwise consummate the proposed acquisition of the
Dyneema business; our ability to achieve the strategic and other objectives relating to the
proposed acquisition of the Dyneema business and possible sale of the distribution business;
disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the credit markets that could adversely impact the
availability of credit already arranged and the availability and cost of credit in the future; the effect
on foreign operations of currency fluctuations, tariffs and other political, economic and regulatory
risks; the current and potential future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results
of operations, financial position or cash flows; changes in polymer consumption growth rates and
laws and regulations regarding plastics in jurisdictions where we conduct business; fluctuations
in raw material prices, quality and supply, and in energy prices and supply; production outages
or material costs associated with scheduled or unscheduled maintenance programs;
unanticipated developments that could occur with respect to contingencies such as litigation and
environmental matters; an inability to raise or sustain prices for products or services; information
systems failures and cyberattacks; and other factors affecting our business beyond our control,
including without limitation, changes in the general economy, changes in interest rates and
changes in the rate of inflation.
